Hi,
I recently read a Press Release about a Study that Dr. Patricia A. Boyle of Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago just released about a four year study they did on the use of breathing muscles and muscle strength. They found that if someone had the proper use of the breathing muscles they could reduce the likelihood of getting Alzheimer's. Or at the very least slow down it effects.
For more information can be found at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center or online at Archives of Neurology, November 2009.
If you are wondering why I would be so excited about this particular article it is because my breathing technique are the same ones that will help sustain good breathing muscles for years to come.
Stay Healthy......

Stress and Allergies
Hi,
I just ran across some interesting information on Stress and Allergies, did you know that stress can make allergies start or become more problematic for you.
One of the best ways to reduce the effects of allergies is through acupressure. I love it. I live here in allergy capital of the world, so until I was in my 40's, I pooh poohed other members of my family(Husband) who was a suffer but now the roles have reversed and I'm no longer pooh poohing anyone who is a walking; itchy, eye watering and head plugged up suffer.
So, unite with me do stretching to reduce your stress and go see someone who is an acupressure practitioner for allergies.

Review of " Active Isolated Stretching"
Hi,
I recently read an article in one of my professional journals on the topic of stretching. I have the whole article posted on the website for all of you to read.
The writer is a Massage Therapist with years of experience which I found refreshing and also confidence building because I found the same truth about how muscles work.
My design of stretch is similar to his but we do vary slightly.
One of the parts,in the article talk's about what the deep breathing part of stretching can achieve, we differ on the use of oxygen; he says it a fuel and I know it is used to ignite the muscles to burn the glucose so it will not get converted into lactic acid leading to muscle fatigue and soreness. For my part stretch has always been about wellness and getting you the customer the best possible care. Toward this goal is why I have worked so hard to get the message out about what can be accomplished on your own with just a few stretches done literally in seconds.
This is the same goal that the therapist in this article also has in mind but he would rather you come to his office and pay for him to guide you through this process. Some people need that but not everyone, certainly not for extended periods of time.
If we are to achieve wellness together, we have to assist everyone in find the right tools to do the best job.
